Comment(by nickm):

 well, *(uint8_t*)(ptr) is safe: a one-byte read or write is always
 aligned.

 grep '*(uint[136]' src/*/*.c is a good way to look for cases, though not
 all are problematic.  All the ones that touch character buffers should get
 fixed, even if they wind up being aligned-by-accident.  The ones where the
 memory is aligned-on-purpose but cast to void* so we can pass it to a
 generic function don't need fixing.
